US 9,426,050 B2 · Provisioning a moderated data service using a syndicated radio access network (RAN)

Abstract

A system is configured to receive, from a content provider, traffic associated with a data service and that is destined for a group of user devices; retrieve service information, associated with the data service, that includes a value, associated with the data service, that represents a level of service quality associated with the data service; determine whether the traffic is authorized to be transmitted to the user devices based on the value; discard the traffic based on a determination that the value is less than a threshold; process the traffic to identify whether a condition is associated with the traffic based on a determination that the value is not less than the threshold; transmit the traffic to one or more of the user devices based on a determination that the traffic is not associated with a condition; and discard the traffic based on a determination that the traffic is associated with a condition.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

receiving, by a server device and from a content provider, traffic, associated with a data service, that is destined for a plurality of user devices;
retrieving, from a memory associated with the server device, a value, associated with the data service, that represents a level of service quality associated with the data service;
comparing, by the server device, the value associated with the data service to a threshold;
discarding, by the server device, the traffic if the value is less than the threshold;
determining, by the server device, that the data service is an approved data service if the value is equal to or above the threshold;
processing, by the server device, the traffic to identify whether a condition is associated with the traffic if the data service is an approved data service;
transmitting the traffic to one or more of the plurality of user devices if the condition is not associated with the traffic;
and
discarding, by the server device, the traffic if the condition is associated with the traffic.

6 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

one or more instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
receive, from a content provider, traffic, associated with a data service, that is destined for a plurality of user devices;
retrieve, from a memory associated with the one or more processors, a value, associated with the data service, that represents a level of service quality associated with the data service;
compare the value associated with the data service to a threshold;
discard the traffic if the value is less than the threshold;
determine that the data service is an approved data service if the value is equal to or above the threshold;
process the traffic to identify whether a condition is associated with the traffic if the data service is an approved data service;
transmit the traffic to one or more of the plurality of user devices if the condition is not associated with the traffic;
and
discard the traffic if the condition is associated with the traffic.
